2020 SUZUKI JIMNY child restraint

FOR SAFE DRIVING
A seat belt helps keep you in the proper po_sition for maximum protection when an airbag infiates. Adjust your seat as far back as possible while still maintaining control of the vehicle. Sit fully back in your seat; sit up straight; do not lean over the steering wheel or dashboard. Front occu­pants should not lean on or sleep against the door. Refer to "Seat adjustment" sec­tion and "Seat belts and child restraint sys­tems" section in this section for details on proper seat and seat belt adjustments.

A WARNING
• The driver should not lean over the steering wheel. The front passen­ger should not rest his or her body against the dashboard, or other­wise get too close to the dash­board. For vehicles with side airbags and side curtain airbag, occupants should not lean on or sleep against the door. In these sit­uations, the out-of-position occu­pant would be too close to an inflating airbag, and may suffer severe injury. • Do not attach any objects to, or place any objects over, the steering wheel or dashboard. Do not place any objects between the airbag and the driver or front passenger. These objects may interfere with airbag operation or may be pro­pelled by the airbag in the event of a collision. Also, these objects may move when you start moving vehi­cle or while vehicle is moving, they may interfere with driver's view or safe driving. In each conditions may cause severe injury. (Continued)

Front passenger airbag deactiva­
tion system (if equipped)
(2)
78RB02027
The front passenger's front airbag system must be deactivated if a child restraint sys­tem is to be installed on the front passen­ger's seat. When the ignition switch is turned to "ON" position, "PASSENGER AIRBAG ON" indi­cator (1) or "PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF" indicator (2) shows whether the front pas­senger's airbag system is activated or deactivated.
1-47
When the front passenger's airbag system is activated, both "PASSENGER AIRBAG ON" indicator (1) and "PASSENGER AIR­BAG OFF" indicator (2) come on for a few seconds and then go out. After that, only "PASSENGER AIRBAG ON" indicator (1) comes on for about 1 minute and then goes out.
When the front passenger's airbag system is deactivated, both "PASSENGER AIR­BAG ON" indicator (1) and "PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF" indicator (2) come on for a few seconds and then go out. After that, only "PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF" indicator (2) comes on.
When you activate or deactivate the front passenger's airbag system, check which indicator is on before starting the engine.
Side airbags, side curtain airbags and seat belt pretensioners are not connected to the airbag deactivation system. Even if the front passenger's airbag system is deacti­vated, side airbags, side curtain airbags and seat belt pretensioners are still acti­vated.

.A WARNING
When using child restraint system on the front passenger's seat, the front passenger's airbag system must be deactivated; otherwise deployment of the front passenger's airbag could result in the death or serious injury of the child.
.A WARNING
Check that the front passenger's air­bag system is activated and "PAS­SENGER AIRBAG ON" indicator (1) is on whenever there is no child restraint installed on the front pas­senger's seat.

According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in rear seating positions than front seating posi­tions. Whenever possible, SUZUKI recom­mends that child restraint systems be installed on the rear seat.
Airbag deactivation switch
78RB02028
The airbag deactivation switch (3) is installed only for use when a rear-facing child restraint system or infant restraint system is installed in the front passenger's seat. The switch is located on the lateral face of the passenger's side of the instru­ment panel.

DRIVING TIPS
52D078
A WARNING
Fasten your seat belts at all times. Even though airbags are equipped at the front seating positions, the driver and all passengers should be properly restrained at all times, using the seat belts provided. Refer to "Seat belts and child restraint systems" section for instructions on proper use of the seat belts. Never drive under the influence of alcohol or other drugs. Alcohol and drugs can seriously impair your ability to drive safely, greatly increasing the risk of injury to yourself and others. You should also avoid driving when you are tyred, sick, irritated or under stress.

Important Vehicle Design
Features to Know
A WARNING
Your multipurpose vehicle has han­dling characteristics that differ from those of a conventional passenger car. For the safety of you and your passengers, please read the follow­ing section very carefully.
Multipurpose vehicles such as your new SUZUKI have higher ground clearance and a narrower track than conventional passenger cars, to make them capable of performing in a wide variety of off-road applications. Specific design characteris­tics give them a higher center of gravity than ordinary cars. An advantage of the higher ground clearance is a better view of the road allowing you to anticipate prob­lems. They are not designed for cornering at the same speed as conventional pas­senger cars any more than low-slung sports cars are designed to perform satis­factorily under off-road conditions. If at all possible, avoid sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers. As with other vehicles of this type, failure to operate this vehicle cor­rectly may result in loss of control or vehi­cle rollover. Multipurpose vehicles have a significantly higher rollover rate than other types of vehicles. In a rollover collision, an
unbelted person is significantly more likely to die than a person wearing a seat belt.
Important Differences Between
Your Multipurpose Vehicle and
Ordinary Passenger Cars
Higher Ground Clearance The higher ground clearance of your vehi­cle enables it to clear off-road obstacles, such as rocks and tree stumps, that ordi­nary passenger cars cannot drive over. An unavoidable result of this higher ground clearance is that the vehicle also has a higher center of gravity. Consequently, your vehicle will handle differently than a vehicle with a lower center of gravity.
Shorter Wheelbase Along with its higher ground clearance, your vehicle has a shorter wheelbase and shorter front and rear overhangs than the typical passenger car. These features combine to allow you to drive your vehicle over hillcrests without hanging up on them or damaging the frame and chassis com­ponents. The shorter wheelbase also makes the steering of your vehicle more responsive than that of vehicles with lon­ger wheelbases.

SUPPLEMENT
For Australia
Built date
Built date is located on Vehicle Identifica­tion plate. "Built date" means -the calendar month and the year in which the body shell and power train sub-assemblies are conjoined and the vehicle is driven or moved from the production line.
Child restraint
A WARNING
Child restraint anchorages are designed to withstand only those loads imposed by correctly fitted child restraints. Under no circum­stances are they to be used for adult seat belts, harnesses or for attaching other items or equipment to the vehi­cle.
10-1
Installation of child restraint with
top tether anchorage
Some child restraint systems require the use of a top tether strap. Top tether anchorage brackets are provided in your vehicle at the locations shown in the illus­tration. The number of the top tether anchorage brackets provided in your vehi­cle depends on the vehicle specification.
(1)
(1) Anchor fitting
78RB10005
1) Remove the luggage box (1 ). 2) Secure the child restraint on the rear seat using the procedure described above for securing a restraint system that does not require a top tether strap. 3) Hook the top tether strap to the top tether anchorage bracket and tighten the top tether strap according to the instructions provided by the child restraint system manufacturer. Attach 54Gm the top tether strap to the correspond­ing top tether anchorage bracket located on the floor of the rear cargo area.
